    @Jolly said in GPA no longer important to employers, and grade inflation: @Doctor-Phibes said in GPA no longer important to employers, and grade inflation: I’ve never looked at a GPA when hiring somebody in my life I did. Transcripts, too. Different line of work. For mine, even a degree is pretty much worthless. But that's not to say there are no requirements. The bar's different, but it's high and only getting higher.

    @Mik said in The vaccine...: WTF would be great about THAT?! As I said, I have my reservations. The beauty of fentanyl is 1) its potency (more potent means fewer side effects such as nausea, etc), 2) short duration of action (45 minutes to an hour). There are many times, hundreds of them where I gave fentanyl for a quick analgesic effect when other opiats would have taken longer to work and lingered into the postop period. There's really nothing like it (well, there's a few, but they have their own sets of issues) and it was my go-to opiate for intraop analgesia. If my patient is "vaccinated" against fentanyl, I'm hamstrung, and I have to use drugs with a whole new set of restrictions and side effects. My hope is for opiates that target specific receptors. I probably mentioned this years ago, but hope springs eternal.

    The pandemic was just one in a long line of government panic and overreach. The reaction to 9/11 comes to mind, the manhunt for the Boston marathon bombers is another case. I'm sure this time the lesson has been learned. Oh, and let's not forget the doofusses taking selfies in Ms. Pelosi's office.

    @Horace said in Stewart on anti-semitism and how to deal with it: @George-K said in Stewart on anti-semitism and how to deal with it: It's so hard to keep track. Was his clown nose on or was it off during that interview? He makes clown nose off points, with a clown nose on. You can't disentangle them. He should run for President

    @George-K said in From Dobbs to Same-Sex Marriage: @Axtremus said in From Dobbs to Same-Sex Marriage: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/16/us-mormon-church-gay-marriage-senate-bill The Mormon Church supports the Senate's same-sex marriage bill. It wasn't all that long ago that they supported polygamy, so, there's that. Which is probably why they support the bill… They want to slide down that slippery slope…

    @George-K Doesn’t show up on my search. Must be location specific. All I get from that brand is the mix and even that is pickup only.

    Now, to be clear, assets could mean informants or cops. Either way, it means if there was a plan to riot at the Capitol, it had to be known ahead of time.
